Introduction
The Media Annotation can be well considered with the various arenas being brought out. The
cardiac arrest taking place and the blue code simulation would gain importance. The video has
the signaling of the Code Blue being called in case of the person who is experiencing a cardiac
arrest (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018; Brewster
et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). The team that arrives at the side of the patient would require the
respond quickly. The arenas linked to the strength and weakness are also part of the annotation
(Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016;
Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The technical and non-technical consideration with the Code
Blue along with the risk management plays a crucial role. The unique collaboration can be well
commended and there lies a greater flow of the coordinated activities that are planned for the
patient.
Annotation
After having reviewed the video, there are various areas wherein poor performance is being
exhibited (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018;
Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). The analysis of the performance can be well associated
to the evidence that is well exhibited. The video considers the simulated case with regards to the
code blue simulation taking into account to the resources. The patient hear rhythm needs to be
well evaluated too. The utilization of the machines would need to be done in a manner that the
sequences is not present (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et
al., 2018; Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017; Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016;

Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The code
study based on the simulator would need to be with respect to determining the conditions. In
case wherein the patient is requiring immediate support, the video also needs to consider the
crucial aspects linked to the monitoring and the control mechanism too in place (Toubasi et al.,
2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018; Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et
al, 2017; Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al.,
2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). This would be on The video has the signaling of the
Code Blue being called in case of the person who is experiencing a cardiac arrest (Austin et al.,
2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et.,
2017; Lai et al., 2016). The team that arrives at the side of the patient needs to respond quickly.
The cardiac pump theory is significant and the consideration of the theory pertains to the
explanation of mechanism in a crucial manner. The blood flow needs to be monitored in an
effective manner. There are various competing theories which are impacted due to
cardiopulmonary resuscitation (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo &
Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The theory tends to
postulate the flow of blood taking place due to the heart being squeezed and the thoracic pump
also brings about the blood flow pertaining from the origin considering the thorax (Toubasi et
al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018; Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich
et al, 2017). The adults attending the simulation at the medical center did respond to the cardiac
arrest but the timing needs to be enhanced. Since the critical operation of the tasks need to be
well regulated and coordinated, there needs to be a flow that is well maintained (Austin et al.,
2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et.,
2017; Lai et al., 2016). The necessary skills that are learnt in case of the simulated environment
also convey the learning model. It is significant that the learning model can be well linked to the
theory. The code blue scenario being exhibited can be well understood considering the below
parameters –

Technical Strength of Performance
The technical strength lined up with the adoption of methodology and the effectiveness in
coordination of activities among the peer group tends to be significant (Austin et al., 2016;
Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai
et al., 2016). The nursing education has been crucial and the improvement of knowledge for the
group needs to be well exhibited. Based on the technical strength, the coverage of steps and the
enhancement of the steps while performing the CPR during the cardiac arrest needs to be
conducted based on the current conditions (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo
& Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The simulation
scenario with the mannequin exhibits greater tendency to resolve the concern and take
umpteen steps (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018;
Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). The practice of skills by the practitioners can be well
fitted. The respond to the conditions has to be done with the necessary steps undertaken under
the technical guidance (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska,
2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The same has been well kept into
consideration.
Non Technical Strength of Performance
The non-technical strength linked to the performance was well exhibited by the coordination of
the team among each other. The balance of expression and the interest being expressed by the
seniors is being taken into account (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo &

MEDIA ANNOTATION
Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). Also the listening skills
for the members as part of the Code Blue and the risk management is also a significant part
(Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016;
Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The unique collaboration can be well commended and there
lies a greater flow of the coordinated activities that are planned for the patient in terms of the
guidance and the listening to the steps by the team.
Technical Weakness of Performance
The technical weakness of performance can be well considered too. The weakness lies in the
elaboration of response initiation which was lacking as based on the duty designed for the
registered nurses (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017;
Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The crucial risk bearing the performance
of simulation can be well seen as the lack of appropriate actions taking place in the timely
manner (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018;
Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). The care of the critical situation that arises also needs to
be well brought out by the learners trying to comprehend after the learners are able to express
their learnings in a particular manner needed greater care facility that can be well understood by
the nurses (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et
al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The weakness also tends to be associated with the
technical readings being undertaken by the team.

The annotation can be well linked to the weakness associated with the performance of the staff
during simulation (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al.,
2018; Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017; Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016;
Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). It can be
well linked to the mechanism that has to be correlated. The staff is initially wait for the
instructions to be delivered. The weakness also tends to be with the cycles of CPR
Recommendations for Practice Change
The recommendations can be well brought out with the appropriate training and the higher quality
of the practice change being brought out with the necessary steps taken in case of cardiac arrest and
the CPR be considered (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017;
Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The monitoring of the vital signs and the
signal beep needs to be well taken into account too. The guidelines and the standards pertaining to
nursing and the time management need to be well adhered too. The cycles of CPR need to be well
comprehended (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018;
Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). Along with the necessary steps undertaken, it is crucial to
bring about stability in the condition of the patient.
Conclusion
The cardiac pump theory is crucial along with the consideration pertaining to the significant
explanation of crucial mechanism. The blood flow has to be constantly and it has to be monitored in
controlled manner. There are several competing theories that need to be altered and the

mechanism prevalent due to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al.,
2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The
theory brings about the flow of blood which is due to the heart condition. It is being squeezed and
the thoracic pump. The important points brought in with the also brings about the blood flow
pertaining from the origin considering the thorax (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al., 2016; Hebbeler
et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018; Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). The adults attending the
simulation at the medical center did respond to the cardiac arrest but the timing needs to be
enhanced. Since the critical operation of the tasks need to be well regulated and coordinated, there
needs to be a flow that is well maintained (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et al., 2016; Czekajlo &
Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The necessary skills that
are learnt in case of the simulated environment also convey the learning model. The
recommendations which can be well considered for the case is the appropriate training along with
the elevated levels considering the levels of practice change being brought out with the necessary
steps taken in case of cardiac arrest and the CPR be considered (Austin et al., 2016; Blankenship et
al., 2016; Czekajlo & Dabrowska, 2017; Gaviola et al., 2016; Stewart et., 2017; Lai et al., 2016). The
monitoring of the vital signs and the signal beep needs to be well taken into account too. The
guidelines and the standards pertaining to nursing and the time management need to be well
adhered too. The cycles of CPR need to be well comprehended (Toubasi et al., 2015; Mora et al.,
2016; Hebbeler et al., 2016; Crowe et al., 2018; Brewster et al., 2017; Bilich et al, 2017). The
assignment covers the several sectors in bringing up the controlled measures. The realistic picture
being brought out is crucial.
